<b>Natwar quits Cong, joins BJP rally </b>
Lokpal Sethi | Jaipur
In an effort to retain Jat support in the State, the ruling BJP on Wednesday staged a huge rally in Jaipur on the 300th anniversary of the Jat ruler of Bharatpur--Maharaja Suraj Mal.
Former External Affairs Minister Natwar Singh and his MLA son Jagat Singh, who stand expelled from the Congress, were the star attractions at the rally, which was one of the biggest gatherings of Jats in recent years. Despite opposition from the Jat Mahasabha, a large number of Jats from every part of the State turned up at the rally, which was addressed by Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje. The rally was held under the banner of Maharaja Surajmal Foundation
Natwar Singh, who had resigned from the Government, on Wednesday announced his resignation from the Congress but parried questions whether he planned to join the BJP. He made the announcement in the presence of Vasundhara Raje. "Wait and see" was all that he would reply to questions on whether he would join the BJP or whether he expects to get a BJP seat to Parliament as his term in Rajya Sabha is coming to an end shortly, adds PTI.
The Jat event was organised close on the heels of the party's Rajput rally two weeks back to commemorate the anniversary of legendry Rajput leader Tan Singh.
